traded my 05 dirtymax for an 08 mega, seriously dissapointed. i knew the truck wasnt right from the time i bought it but didnt know how bad till i hooked on to 10,000# at about 10,000 miles. after 5 or 6 trips to the dealership i finally talked my way into a new egr and new turbo, 2 different week long stays in the shop. it then ran much better but im still dissapointed and the mileage plain sucks, 13 highway empty. last week i installed an edge/attitude, amazing difference but i noticed that as hard as i try i can only get 23-25 pounds boost and the t-lag is still terrible. can anyone help?

there shouldnt be any turbo lag on that truck since it has a vgturbo. That would kinda have me thinking that when the dealer did the previous work to the truck that they left something loose that might be causing a leak or something. THIS IS JUST MY OPINION but if the whole system isnt sealed up good then that would have something to do with the truck not building boost and not spooling up quickly. I dont know much about the new trucks but if they are anything like the 5.9s then I have read about this problem befor and that is what everyone tells them to do, look for a leak in the system, like the boots going to the intercooler and back etc.
